KRUPS OF COFFEE.

Advantages: It doesn't turn off automatically, it takes filter papers, and is very simple to use.
Disadvantages: The 'smooth side trigger action' isn't very effective.

...In December 2006, my coffee filter machine broke, well, it was the operators? error, but I thought it was broke ? so, I bought a new one: the Krups version. For those who are unaware, a filter coffee machine is, an electrical device that filters water through ground coffee, into a jug underneath. The jug is kept hot on a heated base, for you to drink at your leisure. Here are the key features: Capacity: 1.25 litres Coffee type: Ground Filter: Paper Cup warmer: Yes Removable reservoir: No Dimensions: H35.8 x W25.5 x D22.9cm Wattage: 1100W Krups is a mid-range brand in the coffee machine world. I had decided on this machine before I went out to buy one: due to the advertised features. I found it difficult to locate any Krups machines in Chester; they had top end machines and the rubbish lower end ones, but Krups, Magimix...

Krups Turned Into CRAPS w/ This Coffee Machine

Advantages: Filtered Coffee Does Brew Just like Any other Coffe Machine
Disadvantages: Espresso/Capicinno Portion Hard to use, Made Cheap, No Grinder

...Coffee is sort of the bane of my existance. There are days where i'll drink 2 cups, then there are days when i'll drink 12. It's an addiction really. I personally feel they need to have C.A. meetings for us Coffee Addicts. This may seem like useless information in a Coffee Machine review, but it'll give you a little backup info for the coffee snob that I am. I lived in France for about a year before moving to the U.K. In France they don't do normal "Pot" coffee. They seem to think the only coffee that exists isn't even called coffee, it's called "Espresso". After shopping at all the stores in France that have "rama" on the end of them, I FINALLY found a Machine that had a coffee pot WITH it! I was extatic! Plus it was a "Krups" which we all know that Krups Knows they're Coffee Machines. Do they even make anything OTHER than coffee...

Review of Krups Cafepresso 10 PLUS

A Ga do do do, grind coffee and shake a tree

Advantages: Looks good, adjustable for fineness and servings
Disadvantages: A bit noisy

...Krups Expert Coffee Grinder, GVX2 Having recently bought a Gaggia Espresso machine I needed to get a grinder to prepare the beans to make the perfect coffee. I'd bought the espresso machine at Bluewater shopping centre and I knew that I'd want to get cracking as soon as I got home so there was no time to look around online to get the best deal. After realising that the only suitable Gaggia model would cost £150 I thought I'd nip into John Lewis to see what they had on offer. The choice there was pretty good with models starting at about £20 running up to the Gaggia model. After being given a crash course in the matter of grinding beans by the very helpful assistant I plumped for the Krups model, GVX2, at £39.95. Before I talk about the Krups model, let me try and pass on that crash course and explain the finer points of grinding...

Review of Krups Expert Coffee Grinder, GVX2

Krups & Nescafe Make Great Coffee

Advantages: Nescafe Brand Coffee
Disadvantages: Availability Of Coffee Capsules

...Two of the biggest names in the Coffee business have joined forces again to create the Dolce Gusto coffee maker. Krups are already well known for making reliable coffee making machines, and by joining with Nescafe who, in my opinion, make the nicest tasting coffees - this machine got me interested straight away. Having opened the box - my first impression of the machine was that it was very simple in design but stylish at the same time. I went for the Black colour option, however there is also a Red and an Ivory option as well. All colour options have silver on them as well. The machine I purchased came with a FREE welcome pack which had a Latte Glass, Cappuccino cup with saucers and a variety of the coffee capsules, all in one box. Its a high pressure machine (14 bars pressure) with removable drip tray and a washable filter...

Review of Krups KP 2000

Krups yummy frothy coffee machine

Advantages: Posh coffee in your own home
Disadvantages: To get more pods you have to travel to London, or order via the internet.

...This machine along with the wide variety of nespresso coffee pods available makes superb coffee AND you can get top notch frothy milk from the machine as well!! What more could you want???!!! Making the coffee is virtually mess free and there is only a little wiping up to do afterwards. The cup size is either espresso size, or 'lungo' size which is only a little bit bigger than an espresso, so you can easily drink several cups worth in one go if you are a coffee freak like me!! This is something that nespresso, who make the pods for this machine, could perhaps work on as I find my coffee finishes before I am ready for it to finish if you know what I mean?! Anyway the different varieties available are diverse - from very strong, to very weak, and you can also get a couple of type of decaffeinated which also taste just as good...

Krups coffee maker FMD295

Advantages: Quick easy to use
Disadvantages: Short plug flex

...I received this coffee maker as a wedding pressie and after bringing back some wonderful Blue Mountain coffee from jamiaca we could not wait to try it out. We weren't disappointed This is our first coffee maker and we wanted to buy a relatviely simple one which, i think we achieved this. It is easy to work out where eveything goes etc without even looking at the instruction book, although that does give a comprehsive guide to the product. It is very easy to fill and the jug pours really well. It is also easy to clean as the filter lifts out with ease. It can make up to ten cups which is great when you have people round but there is an option to ask it to make 1-4 cups or 4 cups +, an excellent idea to save time and power if there is only two of you. One bad thing about this applicance is its very short flex length, you will...

Review of Krups FMD295

our little red coffee dog.

Advantages: easy to clean, quick
Disadvantages: expensive, and can only use nescafe pods no cheap alternative

...NESCAFE KRUPS DOLCE GUSTO We have been married now for just over a year; as we already had everything in our flat when we got married the majority of our wedding presents came in the form of money or Argos vouchers, so we decided to treat ourselves to a Dolce Gusto coffee machine. The cost of the machines at £80 is quite expensive, so I think that you really have to think about this purchase before you make it, it?s not the sort of appliance that you want to purchase as a ?fad?. Needless to say the coffee machine was my wife?s choice because it was ?cute? !! I have to admit though that this machine is extremely stylish and does look very modern (it?s rather like a red robotic dog actually!!) WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY? Inside the box, as well as the machine itself, you get a Cappuccino cup and saucer and a Latte...

Review of Krups KP 2106 Dolce Gusto RED

Conscience Coffee

Advantages: Fairtrade, ethical business, reasonable product
Disadvantages: Bit bland, not full bodied as rivals or real ground coffee

...I really love the taste and smell of fresh ground coffee, especially from Colombia or Costa Rica. There is a richness and distinctive aroma as you open the pack which just sets the taste buds tingling???..Alas, all too often it is simply not practical or best use of time to indulge in real brewed coffee so instant must suffice. Unfortunately in this sector of the beverage market price is often indicative of quality, and premium brand instant coffees almost always taste better than the standard or economy offerings. Having experienced enjoyable cups of Percol Fresh Ground Colombian Coffee I had high expectations from the instant variety: even more so since it was on offer at just over £2 for a 100g jar making it very competitive against other premium brands. The packaging with it?s familiar green green hue and prominent Fairtrade...

Review of Percol Fairtrade Instant Colombian Coffee

Mmmmmmmm, Coffee

Advantages: Stylish, Makes Good Coffee, Keeps Coffee Warm
Disadvantages: Hard to Clean, Poor to Pour

...*I think I should point out that this model is no longer on the market, however it has been replaced by a similar model, and a lot of my comments will apply to the new version just as they do to this old one.* I love coffee. I drink at least one cup a day and when I am sitting exams at least 726, or thereabouts. So it is imperative that I like my coffee maker. For that reason I have stuck with the Krups range for my last three coffee machines. Three? They must be rubbish if you've needed three! Ah, no. I will explain. First I had the bog standard stand alone Krups filter machine. It has a short squat glass jug and is fairly standard - it never changes over the years. Then I moved in with my boyfriend who had the super stylish version of this, with a much taller, svelter jug. This obviously superseded mine so I jettisoned it...

Review of Krups FMF294

Super Efficient Coffee Machine

Advantages: Quick, clean and easy to use
Disadvantages: The flavour of the drinks may not be to everyone's taste.

...We have had this machine for almost a year now, and are very happy with it. We bought it after being given a demonstration at a department store. In our household most of us are coffee afficcionados who drink several cups a day. We have another coffee machine with a bean grinder, but we liked the taste of the Krups Dolce Gusto drinks, and were so impressed with the efficiency of the machine that we decided to get one. The Krups Dolce Gusto weighs 3 kilograms and is small, very compact with round shapes. The exact dimensions are 21.4cm(W) x 31.5cm(H) x 33cm(D). It probably wouldn't look out of place in The Jetsons' kitchen, as it has a certain futuristic look about it. We got the black-silver one, but there were also red-silver and white-silver models on sale. It came with a latte glass and an espresso cup...
